Steve Harvey and all has something to say in an interviwe with ESSENCE

ESSENCE.COM: Well, men should always be there to support and uphold a sister, not tear her down. Speaking of which, you've been extremely vocal about the Rihanna and Chris Brown debacle on your syndicated radio show. If you could say anything to Chris Brown, what would you say?

HARVEY: First to Chris, any young man or my sons, I'd say there is no reason to ever put your hands on a woman. Unless you're defending yourself because your life is in jeopardyŚlike a guy who called my show and told me his girl stabbed him, then okay, I believe you have a right to defend yourself if you're under attack that could possibly be fatal.

ESSENCE.COM: Court documents allege Rihanna began hitting Chris Brown first while he was driving, so some might argue that his life was in jeopardy and he could have lost control of the car. Do you think he had a right to defend himself if this is indeed true?

HARVEY: It's not right for a woman to ever put her hands on a man either, because that way she doesn't provoke him. But I tell my daughters all the time, "Everybody don't have a daddy like me." The first day I meet any young man or boy who dates one of my three daughters (my twins are 26 and I have one who attends Spelman who is 21) I tell them: "You can talk to my daughter, yell at her, break up with her, have a falling out with her, tell her you never want to see her again, but if you ever put your hands on her I'm putting my hands on you and you're not going to win and you better be looking over your shoulder because there's not a place in this g*#damn country where you could hide. I really don't understand how Rihanna's father can respond the way he has, because if you touch one of my daughters, I'm whooping you're a--, period.

ESSENCE.COM: Incredibly there have been debates that suggest she brought this on herself and deserved what happened to her. What do you think?

HARVEY: People keep asking, "What did Rihanna do?" She didn't do anything to deserve the picture I saw. I would advise Rihanna to slow down and get her life together and do her. She needs to really step back and evaluate this situation and most importantly, don't take any of the blame for what happened and allow yourself to think you had a reason for being beat the way she was.

On the same day that TMZ reported that Chris Brown's manager, Tina Davis, is reportedly the "other" woman whose text message triggered the alleged altercation between Brown and girlfriend Rihanna a month ago, Davis' father said the rumors are untrue.TMZ reported that Davis, 39, who is rumored to have carried on a romantic relationship with the 19-year-old Brown when he was 16, is theperson who texted the singer on the night of the incident, referred to in the police report as "a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."

The manager's father, George Davis, however, told E! News that the latest speculation surrounding his daughter is nothing more than the rehashing of "old rumors." "They were saying that before. Those are old rumors," he reportedly told the site.Brown's camp has long denied that that the singer and Davis were ever romantically involved, releasing a statement to Vibe magazine in November 2007 that said, "Chris Brown and his manager, Tina Davis, have a strictly professional relationship.
